Chapter 82 The trouble gets bigger and bigger
Yang Yuchun was unmoved, and he held his neck and raised his head and replied: "Impossible!"
Tuo Guang laughed and said, "There is nothing impossible in this world. Don't draw a conclusion first. I will say three things,
If you think it makes sense, just do what I said. If you still think it doesn't make sense, then I will hand you over to the White Lotus Sect”
“……”
"First, if you do what I said, I can still let you go. Not only that, you can continue to make great contributions to your Qing Dynasty"
"I'm not hiding it from you. We must take down the White Lotus Cult from Changyang, Guizhou, and Badong. As for Xingshan County, it may not be. I believe that there are still some people under you, and you can slowly gather them."
"After the White Lotus Sect in the three places mentioned above are gone, Xingshan County will inevitably be anxious and can still be easily defeated"
Yang Yuchun asked back: "The people besieged Xingshan County are the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu and the General of Xiangyang Town. Even if you say it well, what chance will I have?"
"Hahaha", when he saw Yang Yuchun, he seemed to be moved, Tuo Guang couldn't help laughing, "Once the news about Changyang, Guizhou and Badong spread, I'm sure that the other officials and soldiers would definitely be in a panic. It is the best way to go, for fear that our army will attack them."
"You think, even the bravest Yang Yuchun tribe is vulnerable, let alone them?"
"Secondly, if you think that even if you fail, the Qing court can forgive you, because there are countless ministers and generals of the Qing army who were defeated by our army. Now, the Chief Grand Secretary of the Military Affairs Office is one of them. You are indeed likely to be safe and sound."
"But who is Agui? He is the nephew of the former imperial concubine, and a Manchu. He is deeply favored by today. How can you, a barbarian, compare with him? By the way, you call yourself a Han Chinese, but how could the Qing court not know that you are actually a barbarian from Xichuan?"
"Of course, if you insist on going back, you will be able to do so"
"Third, you can also surrender to us. If you care about your family in Chengdu, we can try to rescue him. You nod your head and agree now. I can arrange it immediately. You can definitely take him to Yichang before the Qing court notices it."
Yang Yuchun did not answer immediately, but asked back: "Why did you do this?"
"Of course it is the White Lotus Sect here. You probably know that our country is very interested in the population. The White Lotus Sect here concentrates the essence of eastern Sichuan and western Hubei, with hundreds of thousands of people. When they fled from Xiangyang, they were both old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest were young and strong. We were so interested."
Yang Yuchun seemed to be in deep thought and said for a while: "Well, it's over, it's impossible for me to return to them anymore. I will choose the third way"
"Very good, come here"
....
That night, the news that Truqin Guest was assassinated quickly reached Wang Cong'er, Yao Zhifu, and Wang Tingzhao. They were naturally shocked and quickly got up overnight to come here.
In the living room, Wang Cong'er sat in the first place, Yao Zhifu, Wang Tingzhao, Kang Xiaozhong, and Tuo Guang were all in the left and right, and Yang Yuchun was kneeling in it.
The White Lotus Sect obviously knew Yang Yuchun's name, and when they saw that it was this person, they were all furious. In the past three years, I don't know how many leaders of the White Lotus Sect have died at his hands. In the eyes of the vast number of White Lotus Sect, he is like a demon.
If the White Lotus Cult had the power to fight against other officials, but if they met Yang Yuchun, they would have to escape. If the Qing court had not issued an order to siege rather than attack, it would have been estimated that these three counties would have been captured by him.
Once captured, the massacre of the city is inevitable. Yang Yuchun has done a lot before.
However, in addition to the city, Guizhou City also has three lines of defense outside, with White Lotus Cultivators guarding it. How did he break through layers of blockades?
This is also Tuo Guang's question, and he immediately threw this question to Wang Cong'er and others.
Yao Zhifu quickly replied: "This man is very skilled in martial arts and is good at hiding his figures. In addition, the rain is continuous, so there is also a person who accidentally gets involved in our army."
Yang Yuchun raised his head at this time and smiled and said, "Elder Yao, wasn't you the last time you contacted our army?"
Wang Cong'er and Wang Tingzhao were naturally shocked when they heard this. They thought of Zhang Zhengmo and Nie Jie in Changyang City. Their eyes were inevitably hostile when they looked at Yao Zhifu.
Yao Zhifu shouted: "Master, Leader Wang, don't be fooled by this guy. He is obviously distracting from our relationship!"
Wang Tingzhao ignored him and looked at Yang Yuchun, "Where did you think you came from?"
Yang Yuchun replied: "Of course it's east"
To the east is the defense zone of Yao Zhifu's subordinates. Yao Zhifu was speechless now, and he was suddenly there blushing and speechless.
At this time, Tuo Guang came forward.
"Everyone, there is a way to distinguish the authenticity of the problem"
Yao Zhifu quickly asked, "What's the solution?"
Tuo Guangxiao said: "It was the one we proposed last time, but now we have a new meaning. Those who are willing to follow us will naturally have nothing to do with the Qing army. If we are willing to stay here, then..."
At this time, Yao Zhifu naturally didn't want to make a comeback. Although he was the actual leader of the White Lotus Sect in Xiangyang, in the eyes of ordinary believers, Wang Cong'er was still the biggest. If his "collusion with the Qing army" was exposed, not only would he, the elder of the East, not only would he not be able to do it, but it would be possible for the people who were excited to tear the others apart.
So he hurriedly said, "Of course I am willing"
Wang Cong'er and Wang Tingzhao looked at each other and seemed to see some meaning in each other's eyes, but they still said: "We are willing to do it too"
Tuo Guang quickly beat the snake and followed the stick, "We are naturally very happy if you are willing to follow us, but we have the conditions."
"Please say"
"First, when following us, we must remove all weapons"
"Secondly, you already know that our country is following the Changchun religion, and the highest god I believe in is Nuwa. You must change your sect to Changchun religion and accept the constraints of Changchun religion"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As he said that, he looked at Wang Cong'er again, "But, the Virgin of White Lotus can still become the Virgin of my Changchun Sect, specializing in serving Nuwa"
Although they were a little unhappy, they could not agree at this critical moment of life and death, because they also knew that although Yang Yuchun was gone, there were still many Manchu and Han government troops arranged near them, and they were indeed facing a situation where food and grass were exhausted and internal collapse was about to collapse.
Who doesn't want to be alive?
....
With the solution of the problem of the White Lotus Sect in Guizhou, the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan, isolated in Badong County, the south bank of the Yangtze River, had no choice but to follow the Truqin people.
Learning that Kang Xiaozhong and his team were going well, while waiting for the fleet to transport the Changyang White Lotus Cult to return, the Governor of Hexian Town, Ashalai sent them a squadron and thirty civilian Tengjis.
After learning that Yang Yuchun's troops were defeated, and Yang Yuchun disappeared, the Qing army besieged the rebel army immediately began to retreat. Finally, even the White Lotus Sect in Xingshan County were able to arrive in Guizhou to meet with Wang Cong'er. When they learned that it was the Truqin people who saved them, they naturally chose to join Truqin.
....
Tianjin, at this time, Zhuang Jiyun's iron-clad fleet and a brigade of troops had captured the Tianjin Wharf and defeated several Qing navy troops who came to rescue.
Beijing City, all the Qing court who received these news fell to the ground.
But they still have a trump card.
That is Zhang Henxue.
They decided that Zhang Henxue was Qitad's illegitimate son, so they decided to seize him as the negotiation conditions with the Truqins.
However, in order to prevent the Truqins from revenge, they just put Zhang Henxue and his group under house arrest in Honglu Temple Inn.
Therefore, Zhang Henxue could still use the telegraph machine to send new instructions to Zhuang Jiyun.
"I'm fine, but since things have come to this point, the only way to rescue me is to take Tianjin and then attack Beijing. Before that, I'd rather kidnap all the population of Tianjin!"
Regarding Zhuang Jiyun and Luo Fangbo (the commander of the army), they obviously did not know whether Zhang Henxue was Qitade's illegitimate son, but in case of precaution, they still followed his instructions.
Ashalai not only sent them a large number of civilian Tengis, but also sent them two brigades, Marha and Lin Taiping, which obviously agreed to Zhang Henxue's suggestion.
In the eyes of Zhuang Jiyun and Luo Fangbo, this obviously confirmed that Zhang Henxue was Qitade's illegitimate son, so he quickly arranged the attack on Tianjin Fucheng.
Tianjin Prefecture was built by the Qing court on the basis of two acropolises across the Haihe River in the Qianming Dynasty. It is more than 100 miles away from the sea estuary of the Haihe River. At the sea estuary, there are two piers, Tanggu Port on the north bank and Dagu Port on the south bank.
At present, these two piers are obviously in the hands of the Truqin people, but the sea river cannot pass through large ships. If the Truqin army wants to move to Tianjin City, they can only go by land. When the two brigades of Marha and Lin Taiping arrived, Zhuang Jiyun decided to leave only the Marine Corps guarding at the two piers, and all three brigades drove to the city of Tianjin.
Marha was originally the Zaisang who left the former Khan Lash to Wobaxi. Later, he followed Wobaxi back to the east and made great contributions on the way. He was originally the commander of Hexian Town, so he became the commander of attacking Tianjin City.
The three brigades had a total of 9,000 people. When they arrived at the city of Tianjin, they were split up and reorganized six large groups, each of which was 1,500, three regiments surrounded the East City, and three regiments surrounded the West City, and waited for the Qing court's various king-supporting troops to attack.
For the Qing court, the people who stayed in Beijing would obviously not move. They were used to guard the capital. The only ones who attacked the Truqin army were all the people under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Zhili, the people from the Northeast, and the Mongolian army that came urgently with the imperial edict.
Although the Haihe River cannot pass through large ships, the Saiyin number is still possible. Therefore, the two brigades besieging Tianjin City are not at risk of lack of food and grass.
The only hidden danger is that autumn is coming soon. If it is winter, the Haihe River will freeze, but its ice layer is at most ten centimeters thick, and Saiyin can completely break it through.
In addition, they also have the large rear base of Jeju Island. Although there are only three brigades of men hanging alone in the foreign land, Marha has no worries.
The Qing court obviously attached great importance to the safety of Beijing. A month later, it was late summer and early autumn, and the three armies that rescued Tianjin City finally arrived.
The governor of Zhili Zhou Yuanli personally led an army of 20,000 to the west city of Tianjin, while Prince Korqin Wangzaldorji brought 15,000 Mongolian cavalry to the east city, and General Shengjing Qinggui brought 5,000 elite Manchu Eight Banners. They were stationed in Yangliuqing Town, northwest of Tianjin City, and waited for the opportunity.
Forty thousand to ten thousand, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army at this time was still quite considerable, not the way it looked when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded later. Moreover, after receiving the assistance of the Dutch and British, their firearm configuration was greatly enhanced.
